Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello everyone!! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Last Monday we went for an evening walk and met a man named Kiran.  He stopped us and asked about our religion! We are allowed to talk with people if they ask us but we can't go up to them. But we got his number and set up a lesson!

We had a lesson with Rose and Ronnie but our connection was so bad the members ended up answering all their questions and pretty much taught the lesson for us; we felt pretty bad and apologized afterwards to them. But then we called our zone leaders and told them to have our data fixed because it had ruined our lesson. They thought it was pretty funny!

Thursday was interesting because our mission president told us not to proselytize but to still work.  Luckily, because our whole zone got rearranged, we were able to spend a good chunk of time finding new groups for everyone and we made a Thanksgiving video for our friends and ward. Thanksgiving actually flew by because we had so much to do!  We were able to have a few lessons but mostly spent time organizing our Facebook groups for the zone. I didn't think I would ever use google sheets this much on my mission but that's a good part of our daily work now.   We did have a good dinner. Sister Cole made a really good cheesecake and Sister Price made dinner.  After I ruined rolls a few weeks ago, they don't let me help with dinner anymore! But it was good!
We did end up having our lesson with Kiran and it was interesting.  He believes the Law of Moses has been fulfilled to the extreme.  Our first lesson was about tithing because he wouldn't let us talk about anything else.  Usually we teach that as one of the last lessons but this time, it was first!  

We got a few more restrictions.  We are now only allowed to have 100 people at sacrament instead of 150 which is fine because we can still go but it's nice to be able to go in person.  

This is more of a slightly embarrassing story but we were on the phone with the zone leaders and I felt a big sneeze coming on. I put them on mute so that they wouldn't hear me sneeze and be grossed out but my companions were on either side of me so my only option was to lean forward.  Well I leaned forward so I wouldn't sneeze on them but I sneezed so hard I tipped over and ended up sneezing on Sister Price!  She froze and looked at me and whispered "What just happened to me?"  We DIED laughing! The zone leaders were really confused because it took us a while to stop laughing but that's my embarrassing story for the week!

Oh!  We decorated for Christmas! We have a Christmas tree that is about 6ft and a bunch of lights so we have a lot of lights all over our apartment.  It's been fun.
Well I think that's all for this week, I love you all!
